School shooter at 6 years old. A CP student was arrested Friday in the United States after shooting her elementary school teacher in her classroom, seriously wounding her, according to police. The tragedy, which occurred at Richneck Elementary School in Newport News, Virginia (east), about 300 km south of Washington, did not cause other injuries.
“He’s a six-year-old boy, he’s currently in custody,” local police chief Steve Drew told reporters. “This is not an accidental hit,” he added. The victim is a young woman in her thirties and her life is in danger, he said.

“I am shocked and demoralized,” said George Parker, director of schools at Newport News. “We need the support of our community to make sure children don’t have access to guns. »
Shootings, especially in schools, are a scourge in the United States. In May, a teenager killed 19 schoolchildren and two female teachers at an elementary school in Uvalde, Texas.
More than 44,000 gun deaths were recorded in the United States last year, half of them by suicide and the other half by homicide, accident or self-defense, according to the Gun Violence Archive website.
